Hairstyles 2012: Accessorizing From The Neck Up With Jewellery

If the runways are any indication, hair accessories are definitely having a moment in a big way: Dolce & Gabbana's gold and pearl embellished headband, Tory Burch’s jewelled clips, Gucci’s crystal barrettes—you can see where I'm headed here (pun intended). How can you resist adding a little sparkle to your locks?

Hair jewellery is an easy way to glam up your average hairstyle. Take a simple do, add some adornment and you can instantly enhance your look.

Going out for post-work cocktails? Sweep your hair into a chic chignon or low ponytail and embellish with a hair-cessory--quite literally the best 10-second evening 'do... you're welcome.

Add a couple sparkly pieces to the base of your bun, or try a vintage pin to hold back a few strands of hair on one side for a retro glam look. Nostalgic, Arabian-night-type headpieces, add a hint of exotic, as made popular by the Kardashian Klan.
So twist, wave, braid and chignon those locks, add an accessory for added oomph. You are going to look oh-so-glam, you modern and gorgeous trailblazer.

"Braids are always a great option!" says Buckett. "They can be either long, side ones or sleek, tight ones that can be wound up in buns. Also, messy fishtails or baggy, loose braids along the crown of the hair are playful and flattering." (Getty)

High and messy. Sleek and tight. Loose and swept to the side. "No matter how you style ponytail, it will get hair off your face and neck," points out Buckett. "To make any style look complete add a little more product to polish it up, or add even a little beach spray to play up the texture. Make more of an effect to make it messy!" (Getty)
